Devo is an open-source coding agent with a Desktop app, terminal TUI/CLI, and model-neutral Rust runtime for private, enterprise, and OpenAI-compatible model environments. Connect DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Anthropic-compatible APIs, local gateways, or your own model endpoint.

Why Devo
Devo is for teams that need a coding agent outside a single hosted model ecosystem. It keeps the desktop experience, terminal workflow, model choice, runtime behavior, and workspace execution under your control.
- Bring your own model - Connect OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions, OpenAI-compatible Responses, Anthropic Messages, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, or private model gateways through provider/model Connections.
- Works in private and intranet environments - Run a single local Rust binary, support offline installation paths, and point Devo at internal endpoints without depending on a hosted agent service.
- One agent across Desktop and terminal - Use the Desktop app for visual onboarding and daily coding, or the CLI/TUI for terminal-native automation, remote shells, and scriptable workflows.
- Built for agent runtime extensibility - MCP servers, reusable skills, auditable sessions, permissions, and multi-agent flows are runtime features rather than one-off prompts.
Features
- Model-neutral provider runtime - Use provider/model Connections for OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic-compatible, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax, Xiaomi MiMo, OpenRouter, or local endpoints.
- MCP support - Connect external tools and context through
Model Context Protocol servers. Add and
manage servers from the CLI with
devo mcp add|list|enable|disable|remove(see Configuration). - Skill support - Package repeatable workflows, instructions, scripts, and references as reusable Agent Skills.
- Long-running task support - Let Devo manage context automatically across multi-turn work instead of losing the thread as tasks grow.
- Multi-agent support - Split work across specialized agents while keeping coordination visible in the session.
- Plan Mode - Break larger tasks into clear multi-step plans before implementation starts.
- Parallel tool calls - Run multiple independent tools in parallel so models spend less time waiting and more time making progress.
- Permissioned tool execution - Review sensitive tool calls before they touch your workspace.
- Auditable sessions - Keep model output, tool calls, approvals, token usage, and session history inspectable and resumable.
- Cost and context visibility - Show input/output tokens, cached tokens, and context-window usage where providers expose them.
- Lightweight Rust runtime - Built in Rust with low memory overhead and a compact local runtime.
- Built-in semantic code search (MCP) - Optional bundled MCP server
(
code_search/devo-code-search-mcp), not installed or enabled by default. Runs a local CPU code-embedding model and combines dense retrieval with BM25 keyword matching to reduce code-search context versus grep/find-only agents. Install it explicitly with--with-code-search, then enable it withdevo mcp enable code_searchor TUI/mcps.
Tested Models
Devo's built-in model catalog includes tested model definitions for Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, and DeepSeek. Provider endpoints remain configurable through provider/model Connections.
Tested Platforms
Devo has been tested on macOS, Linux, Windows, and Kylin OS.
For Chinese Enterprise Users
Kylin OS coverage is called out because domestic operating systems are often part of real deployment requirements in Chinese enterprise environments. HarmonyOS support is on the roadmap; contributors with HarmonyOS devices are welcome to build, test, and publish releases for that platform.
Installation
Devo can be installed in two forms. Pick the Desktop app for a graphical coding agent workspace, the terminal-native TUI/CLI for shell-first development, or install both on the same machine.
Option 1: Desktop App
Start here if you want the graphical Devo experience. Download the latest Devo Desktop package from GitHub Releases, then choose the asset that matches your operating system and architecture:
- macOS - download the
devo-desktop-...-mac-....dmgor.zipasset. - Windows - download the
devo-desktop-...-windows-....exeasset. - Linux - download the
devo-desktop-...-linux-....AppImage,.deb, or.rpmasset.
If macOS reports that Devo.app is damaged and cannot be opened, this is
expected. Current macOS Desktop builds are unsigned, so after installing,
run the following command so macOS can launch the app:
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Devo.app
Option 2: TUI / CLI
Install the terminal-native devo command if you prefer the TUI, want shell
automation, or want to use Devo alongside the Desktop app.
Linux / macOS:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7df-lab/devo/main/install.sh | sh
Windows:
irm 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7df-lab/devo/main/install.ps1' | iex
The online installer places devo under the Devo home directory and installs
the rg sidecar used for fast repository search. It does not install the
code_search MCP or its local model by default.
Use this only if you want the code-search MCP and its Hugging Face model installed during setup.
Linux / macOS:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7df-lab/devo/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --with-code-search
Windows:
$env:DEVO_INSTALL_CODE_SEARCH = "1"; irm 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7df-lab/devo/main/install.ps1' | iex
Upgrade an existing installation to the latest release:
devo upgrade
The upgrade command runs the same platform installer, and the installer prints
the version transition, for example Version: v0.1.12 -> v0.1.15.
For air-gapped or intranet installs, see Offline Installation.
Quick Start
Configure a provider, open a repository, and start the TUI:
cd /path/to/your/repo
devo onboard
Useful commands:
devo # start the interactive TUI in the current repo
devo resume <session-id>
Configuration
devo onboard is the recommended setup path. It writes pro
